We need this so badly! I just came back from Europe and travelling between the countries was so easy. It can also unlock tourism between small towns...

Taxi industries and truck owners will destroy rail infrastructure like during lockdown

Which will only benefit the have's as we see with Gautrain!So long as we have the present government what we dream of will never materialise!Number one government must deal harshly with criminality like we saw during the build up to 2010 World Cup where everybody was safe and police were doing their jobs!

Still important. Go to Europe and you will understand the interconnection. I took a train from Paris to Brussels and the comfort was something else. We need this badly
